NOVEMER 2014

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE! We are now approaching the Holiday seasonwith Christmas and New Year's around the corner. This is a time where we spend our time withour families and most of us take the month off from dog shows. I know a few members are stillparticipating in the Greater Clark County dog shows the first weekend in December so will not beable to attend the Club Christmas Party. I understand the importance of attending these showsto meet your goals, even so you will be greatly missed!

This is also the month where the handling class takes time off. We have tried in the pastto continue these classes during this time and it has not been very successful in getting instructorsand participants. Again, too many other holiday festivities take up much of our time. Again, thatis what Thanksgiving and Christmas is all about - spending time with the family.

Our newly elected board held their first board meeting this month and everyone appearsto be excited about the possibilities the New Year will bring. The September 2015 show is wellon its way to being approved with one day already approved (Saturday). Discussion was held onwhat special event we would hold in conjunction with our show (best puppy, best bred-by,veterans, Owner Handler) and the decision to date is to hold no other special events. While thismay change in the future, the major concern is length of time to complete. We just barely met ourrental return times following Sunday's show this year. Even so, we all know our show will be justas successful as years past.

I also want to remind everyone that the Family Expo is right around the corner being heldthe last weekend in January (Friday the 23rd, and Saturday the 24th). Bonnie will be callingeveryone early next month to set up your participation times. She tries to schedule in 2 hourblocks to minimize impact to the dogs, and she tries to have large and small dogs together duringthe 2 day event. The importance of this event is to promote responsible dog ownership, teachchildren the proper way to greet dogs, and to give our dogs highly needed socialization with about5000 attendees. We always have a great time and great participation by all the club members.

In closing, I want to remind everyone that our next meeting the annual Christmas Partybeing held at the home of Chuck and Bonnie Ames in Bento City. The party is on Friday,December 5thand you can get there starting at 6:00 pm. We always have a great time, the maindish will be Beef Stroganoff again, and we will have our gift exchange for members that bring gifts(try to keep around a $20.00 limit). I look forward to seeing you all next month and have a greatThanksgiving!

Your President

Chuck Ames
